About this property
Potomac Rvr Woodland Cottage, Polite Pets welcomed, Central Air, Stunning Sunset
Fully renovated with stunning sunset views over the Potomac River in the front and woodland to the rear. A spotless single-level home less than 2 hours from D.C. Located across the street from the Potomac River Time stands still at Tall Timbers an almost forgotten Maryland treasure. Two of the three bedrooms are furnished as bedrooms. The third is used as a den with an ambiance fireplace, Smart TV and fold-out bed to supplement the living room sofa-bed. Well-trained polite pets are welcomed with advance written approval provided you agree to pay for any extra cleaning or damage charges incurred.
This modern and year-round retreat is equipped with linens and any other items you might expect in a well-equipped home, including bikes, puzzles, a Keurig coffee maker, Smart TVs with local channels, Wi-Fi, and fast internet. We are uniquely located 3 miles east of the Piney Point/ St. George's Island Bridge not far from where the Potomac River flows into the Chesapeake Bay.
There is an outdoor fire ring for wood fires, and the ambience of a faux fireplaces in the den and dining room. All windows are screened and open if you want to feel the breezes off the river and listen to the chorus of bird songs.
An easement runs along the side of our home to the water's edge however the slippery bulkhead stones make entry difficult. The best launch spot is at the marina or one of the many creeks or parks. Fishing and Crabbing for our famous Maryland Blue Crabs is a popular activity in our local Herring Creek. The village of Tall Timbers and the Marina are both easy walks. Picking up boxed lunches or great steaks at Wm Dents Grocery is a tradition. You will find a local watering hole and cafe in the back of the grocery. The famous Reluctant Navigator is at the Marina.
The Historic St Mary’s City (interpretive park), beaches, docks, lighthouse, and bridge at Piney Point and St. George's Island are all a short drive. We are happy to assist you in booking fishing charters or cruising the Potomac with a qualified waterman.

About the host
Hosted by Lolly and Lindley

We love the rural rivers, bays, and estuaries and enjoy helping you find the hidden paths around the Historic St. Mary County and the Potomac.
Why they chose this property
Tall Timbers is a sleepy waterfront community where people pass slow summer days. Huge rockfish are caught in the creeks and crabs from set traps . The adventures are as stunning in the winter, as they are during the summer.
There are more places to paddle than you will have time available to visit. Also, we enjoy exploring:
*Historic Old Mill Gift Store,
*Historic St. Mary’s City
*One Room Little red schoolhouse
*Drayden Afro-American school house.
*Piney Point Light House and Museum
*German U-Boat Underwater Park
*The Patuxent River Naval Air Museum (PAX)
*Point Lookout State Park and Civil War Museum
*Sotterley Plantation,
*St. Clement's Island-Potomac River Museum
*Calvert Maritime Museum.
*Anna Marie Gardens and Sculpture Forest.
Chesapeake Bay Islands from the Poont Lookout Ferries.
During the winter the community is magical and can be a winter wonderland. Fall colors are magnificent, especially when you realize you are not the one to rake the leaves. Just watch them fall. Be on the lookout for last minute deep discounts on midweek - midwinter visits.
